It has a big thing to do with the population. Australia, New Zealand and Canada combined don't even have half of Japan's population, and the gaming culture is nowhere near as prevalent in them as it is in Japan. Of course games aren't going to sell as well.

I don't know how it is in Canada, but here in Australia, practically everybody I know pirates their video games because things either don't get released here or the prices are fucking insane when they are.Their dollar isn't as strong, but New Zealand pays even more and all of my friends living there pirate too. Legit sales over here would pick up considerably if we were charged a reasonable price.
